Question

Mary is a wonderful student because she is very dedicated, but her brother is quite the opposite.

Which type of sentence is this

Answer 1

complex

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must identify sentences as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.

• A simple sentence is a sentence that consists of just one independent clause.
• A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
• A compound-complex sentence combines the two.

Compound sentences connect two simple sentences, but they often do not show a clear relationship between the two parts. Ex. I waited for the bus, but it was late. A complex sentence contains a main clause and one or more dependent clauses.

Therefore, the sentence will be complex.
